ming bird hawk moth are not more ele-
giant in form. more graceful in action or
more gorgeous i'm habiiaments than the
ordinary mosquito. The mosquitoes
beauties are hidden from us by the in
fiuences. 1t rarely visits us except in
the darkness. when it is invisible, and
is too small even when it Is visible, to
render its beauties patent to the I'M
aided vision. Then how can they be re-
vealed? BY the microscope. Mosqui-
toes can be obtained at almost any time
or place, alive OF dead. They can be
found in the country in the day time
by any one in search of them. Very
often, also, they can be found in the
city. But at night, whether i'll town or
country, the difficulty will be to avoid
them.
Mo the naked eye the mosquito is but
a speck of colorleSS clay. But place one
under microscope and see the marvel
Gus transformation which will take
place. Look at the delicacy of the mark
ingS and the grace and elegance of con-
tour in the specimens of male and fe-
male mosquitoes. The rich coloring of the
insects. however, cannot be given on any
black and white process. Put common
mosquito under a microscope. ADJUST
the lenses. Now place your eye to the
eyepiece. Presto! The tiny dirt-colOred
speck has vanished, and in its place APP
pears the most radient and gorgeous
creature which the mind can conceive
of. The wings are of pale amber, the
legs and thorax magenta, the body dark
green, the eyes purplish black and gilt
tering like diamonds, the proboscis shin
ing like ebony. Compared with the pomp
and magnifcence of decoration, the
brightest and most vivid of painters
pigments are muddy.

faculty of scattering witty bon mots
broadcast through a crowd with such
lavish prodigality that it has the UNI
varying effect of communicating good
nature to the most Saturnine of his
guests. The reception which he gave
to his old claSSmate, Chief Justice
Waite, was probably the most brilliant
gathering of professional men that this
city has seen. When he was secretary
of state it devolved upon him to furnish
most of the hospitality for the entire ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Evarts' house. therefore became
the center of a social life as distin-
SIished as any that has ever been known
in Washington. There, as in other of
his homes, the easy yet dignitied man
ner of Mrs. Evarts, her good heart and
genial welcome for all, were essential
elements. In appearance she is rather
below the medium height, with a pleas
nt,refned face and matronly figure. Mr..
EvartS has fine country seat and farm
at Woodstock, in the most beautiful
mountainous region of lower Vermont.
This country establishment has made
heavy drains upon his purse and has be-
come quite all extensive domain. Here
he enjoys truly domestic life. He
claims to be somewhat of farmer, but
his experience in the pursuit of this
. fancy has cost him great deal of
money. However, he is good natured
about it, and turns his peculiar expert
ences as gentleman farmer to good ac-
count in writing humOrOuSly about them
to his friends. He wrote once to a friend
in Massachusetts,;

The scheme of playing under the blue
skies, beneath outrageous trees, upon
the green Sward, is commendable Oh the
score of novelty and beauty. The back
ground, instead of pair of diStemper
cOlored FLATS or an old wrinkled
''drop." is landscape painted by ma
ture in her most alluring pigments;
for ''side wings there are trees with
gnarled roots and spreading boughs;
for BORDER lights there is the sun it
self. and for stage CLOTH and prop
erty banks" there is the grass and there
are mounds and lichen-coyered trunks
of trees, while for s'set pieces there
are clumpS of ferns and tangles of wild
flowers.
There must, however, be no rouge and
powder. nor wigs, nor padding, for the
gariSh daylight will work havoc with
them and their wearerS. Above all, the
play must be Arcadian. To the text
there will be sort of accompanying
harmony in the cawing of rocks, the
twittering of birds and the lowing of
kline. Joined to the rushing of leaves, as
the summer breeZeS sweep gently across
the scene.
AS an Arcadian play is necessity, let
it be ''AS You Like It." the sweetest
